You need to go try these bikes out. These bikes are going to have sloping top tubes, going strictly by the published numbers is good to get a frame of reference, but you need to actually straddle the bike - the standover can vary quite a bit along the top tube. Also, just as important as standover is the top tube length, so keep that in mind too.
